The opinion

THE COURT

directed the jury that if they should be of opinion that the defendant sold the liquor as clerk, agent, servant, or barkeeper of Brown, then he was not guilty. It was the selling of Brown within the meaning of the act. See, also, U. S. v. Shuck [Case No. 16,285], Alexandria, Jan. term, 1802, and U. S. v. Voss [Id. 16,628].
